What is Compassion Club you might ask yourself. I don’t know about you, but…I try to be as compassionate as I can be (I TRY!). With that being said…I sponsor children in Africa through an organization called Compassion International, they are awesome! I have a few sponsored children, but one in particular is sponsored by a group of ladies I have…and I call this my Compassion Club!
This is our girl! Tuyishime! she’s in Rwanda, and whenever you think you have it hard…just think about these kids for a minute and you’ll feel WAY better!
Anyway…my Compassion Club is $30, we meet once a month (1st Friday) and we make 4 cards AND we have a packet of goodies that retails for $25. I take the other $5 and put it towards our Compassion sponsored child. If you’d like to join in the fun, you can from a distance (I have a few that do that now, you’ll pay $8 shipping each month also). You will get your card packet, instructions and goodies in a USPS Flat Rate Envelope. You can order the packet for next month by clicking HERE.
Let’s take a look at the cards we made this month!
Isn’t this just so pretty! and not hard…the Designer Series Paper does all the work! well…most the work, you do have to emboss…but who doesn’t love to do that??
Again, the DSP does most of the work on this card, there’s black accents that make it POP! and I LOVE that sentiment. You notice that it’s not quite the size of the Label Me Lovely Punch…it’s a little smaller…check out this next picture…using a post it note as a “handle” you can put the punched piece back into the punch and trim off the bottom!
Next is my favorite card this month!
I did an entire blog on this monochromatic butterfly, if you didn’t see it, go check it out!
Last, but certainly not least is the Blushing Bride card…it’s stamped on the Blushing Bride DSP and the butterflies are from the Butterfly Bijou DSP Pack…they cut out simply!
So…that’s our compassion club for this month…if you’d like to join us next month and help make a little girl’s life a little happier in Rwanda…click HERE.

Hi, Sandra!
Your post piqued my interest–especially since my husband and I have been sponsors of children with Compassion International for 12 years now. Our oldest child, Hermine, now 17, lives in Haiti. (We started our sponsorship of her when she was 5.)
I’m afraid I don’t quite understand how your club works, though, and would like to understand what it is that you do. (The links to click didn’t work for me either.)
Blessings to you as you serve Tuyishime, and of course, many blessings to her.
And may God be glorified!
Your ideas absolutely shows this site could easily be one of the bests in its niche. Drop by my website QU9 for some fresh takes about Airport Transfer. Also, I look forward to your new updates.
